Chapter 733 Cousin, are you still taking care of these things for your brother-in-law?
Meng Yunlan snorted lightly, a hint of superiority on her face: "Gu Qianhan may be cold and ruthless to others, but I am no ordinary person. With my help, getting close to him will be a piece of cake."
Qiao Zhiyu's eyes widened: "Cousin, is it true? You can get close to him? I don't know much, so don't lie to me."
Why would I lie to you? What's there to lie about in this kind of thing?
Meng Yunlan smiled slightly: "You don't know, do you? Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan had a fight today, and they must have become much more estranged."
"Huh? Is there?"
Qiao Zhiyu tried hard to recall all of Gu Qianhan's reactions after picking up Shen Wantang halfway: "No, right? The Second Young Master went out of his way to pick up Shen Wantang from the heavy rain today. Although the two of them didn't talk much in the carriage, they held hands the whole time! The Second Young Master is usually aloof, so it's normal for him not to talk, right? Did you misunderstand something, Cousin? I don't think they're being distant!"
She even felt that Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang not only did not quarrel, but their relationship seemed to be quite good. Otherwise, how could Gu Qianhan, who was always aloof, hold Shen Wantang's hand the whole way?
Moreover, Shen Wantang came from such a lowly background, the reason she was able to marry into the Duke's mansion was because of Gu Qianhan's affection.
It's already widely known outside that Prince Ning's heir, Xiao Qingyuan, tried to snatch Shen Wantang but couldn't outbid Gu Qianhan!
"What do you know? Shen Wantang is just putting on an act. She's furious today, otherwise why would she brave the heavy rain to come find you?"
"Cousin, what do you mean by that? Why is Shen Wantang angry and coming to find me? Is there some reason I don't know?"
"It's not really a matter of any particular reason, it's just that Shen Wantang is petty. Today, the kitchen made some bird's nest soup, and I saw that we couldn't finish it, so I went to the study in the front yard and brought a bowl to Gu Qianhan."
Qiao Zhiyu hesitated, "So, Shen Wantang... is jealous? Because of this, she argued with Gu Qianhan and became estranged?"
Meng Yunlan sighed: "Alas, of course it's not just that. The main thing is that the study in the front yard is an important place, and people are not allowed to enter it by ordinary means, but Qianhan let me in but not Shen Wantang."
Qiao Zhiyu frowned: "What? There's such a thing?"
"There are three gates in the front courtyard. Shen Wantang couldn't even get through the first gate. She was blocked outside by Qian Han's men. But not only was I invited into Qian Han's study, but even my maid and nanny got through the first two gates. So, people in the mansion are talking about Shen Wantang, saying that she's not even as good as a maid. She's lost all face. She's pitiful!"
Qiao Zhiyu imagined the scene, then touched her own face and suddenly felt a pang of empathy: "That's really embarrassing, not just embarrassing, but also incredibly frustrating. And you can't make a scene, or it'll be even more embarrassing. Someone with a short temper might even vomit blood on the spot!"
I can tolerate being stopped by anyone else, but I can't tolerate being stopped by my husband's subordinates.
If your partner doesn't side with you but with someone else, and his study is off-limits to his wife but allowed to his sister-in-law, wouldn't anyone be furious?
No wonder Shen Wantang braved the heavy rain to go to the Qiao family and even gave her such a luxurious and beautiful dress. It turns out he wanted to use her and annoy Meng Yunlan!
Qiao Zhiyu glanced at Meng Yunlan and couldn't help but sneer inwardly at her haughty demeanor.
Meng Yunlan is truly shameless. She ignores her husband, not even bringing him an umbrella in this heavy rain, yet she's thinking about sending her brother-in-law some damn bird's nest soup? Does she have nothing better to do? Does Gu Qianhan need a bowl of bird's nest soup from her?
It seems that the Duke's mansion has spoiled her so much that she doesn't know her place anymore. She's living too comfortably, so she's become arrogant and ignorant!
Gu Qianling was too good to her. He didn't set any rules for her. He didn't take a concubine or touch other women when she couldn't get pregnant. He even tried his best to comfort her and make her happy. That's why Meng Yunlan was so fearless!
Qiao Zhiyu was burning with jealousy, but she could only say, "So Shen Wantang is not favored by the Second Young Master. She doesn't even have the same status as you, Cousin, in his eyes!"
Her casual compliment struck a chord with Meng Yunlan.
A smile appeared on her face: "It's not about status or anything. It's just that everyone in this family treats me sincerely and likes to be around me, so naturally I treat them sincerely in return."
Qiao Zhiyu lowered her head and pursed her lips. She had practically grown up with Meng Yunlan, so she knew Meng Yunlan's personality. She liked the feeling of being the center of attention and liked everyone to revolve around her. If anyone didn't revolve around her, she would make things difficult for them.
After Shen Wantang entered the room, Gu Qianhan was probably too busy being intimate with his new wife to pay any more attention to Meng Yunlan. That's why Meng Yunlan was unhappy and deliberately went to deliver bird's nest soup to Gu Qianhan!
"Sigh, nothing was going to happen today, but Shen Wantang made a big fuss about it and caused quite a scene, which led to my mother-in-law scolding me for not knowing how to avoid suspicion. I was really wronged."
Qiao Zhiyu gave a fake smile: "It's all because my cousin is too outstanding. Shen Wantang is jealous of you and is deliberately picking a fight. Don't take it to heart."
“Before Shen Wantang entered the family, I brought Qian Han plenty of food and drink. I even took care of Qian Han’s clothes for all four seasons, prepared his three meals a day, managed the people in his courtyard, and arranged everything in his bedroom with my help. If Shen Wantang knew about all this, I wonder if he would make a scene again?”
"This... Cousin, you're still taking care of these things for your brother-in-law?"
Qiao Zhiyu thought to herself, "You're being too nosy! What kind of good sister-in-law would meddle in her adult brother-in-law's bedroom?"
No wonder Shen Wantang went to seduce Gu Qianling; she probably couldn't swallow her anger if she didn't!
"Cousin, I'm telling you these things because I trust you. Please don't tell Shen Wantang, or she'll get upset and argue with Qianhan, which would be my fault."
As Qiao Zhiyu listened to her talk, she started pretending to be a good person again, and she almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
She didn't understand Shen Wantang, but she knew Meng Yunlan all too well. Meng Yunlan said all this so that she would go and relay a message to Shen Wantang!
However, Meng Yunlan had her own plans, so why didn't she? She was determined to spread those words!
Meng Yunlan was still sighing: "Alas, I really didn't mean it today. I was just thinking that we are all family, and I should take care of Qianhan like my own younger brother."
"This Shen Wantang, after all, comes from a humble family. Her vision is a bit narrow, and she's also a bit short-sighted."
"She's really not good enough for Qianhan, which is why I was thinking of introducing you to her. Cousin, you wouldn't refuse to give me this opportunity, would you?"
